Ricky Martin unveils star on Walk of Fame

Hundreds of cheering fans waved Puerto Rican flags and shouted the singer's name as he received the honour.

He said: "This is an incredible moment. If the star is here I guess you know my work has been recognised and it will never die, you know - it's part of history. I'm so motivated right now; let's see where this takes me."

The Grammy Award-winner began his career with boyband Menudo and shot to fame after singing 'Livin' La Vida Loca' during the 1998 World Cup. He has since sold more than 60 million solo albums.

He is also a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and created the Ricky Martin Foundation, which advocates children's rights.
